Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 September 19

Between last year’s COVID affected production and release schedules and the move to streaming from broadcast seasons, I am not sure that fall premiers and summer re-runs are still a thing.  A John Diggle Cameo joins us for Supergirl’s twelfth episode focuses on a socially just Guardian, but Stargirl is back at episode seven, giving fallout from Yolanda’s remorse.  The stream side was staggared as well as Titan’s take their ninth episode with some soul, but we are just getting the first three episodes of Doom Patrol’s third season.  Over on Evil, someone is afraid of cracking some eggs.  Chapelwaite gets committed.  What If still doesn’t give us advanced knowledge of which changes we will get to see, but there’s a Multiversal Avengers theory out there, as well as a Thor-centric episode still in the works.  Riverdale sends Jughead and Betty season for missing friends.  American Horror Story offs the Gardners.  On See, the family has a royal dinner party.

As the kids return to their educational detention centers, the Breakroom television marches on.  The Legends get stuck in 1920s Texas, Stargirl gets some surprise guests, Supergirl fight prison abuse, and the Titans meet Lady Vic. Evil returns to pick up its second season quietly.  What If doesn’t officially give us a plot, but the smart money is on a Doctor Strange story.  American Horror Story brings tourism to their town.  In See, we have surprisingly fewer sighted people.  SurrealEstate gives us the story of Luke’s doubt in his career choices.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 August 22

As the schools start back up, I Doubt Classroom televisions will be as entertaining as the Bureau’s Breakroom.  This week, the Legends deal with babies, Stargirl deals with siblings, Supergirl makes a triumphant return after her more popular cousin’s season ends, and Titans bring someone back from the dead.  What If examines what would have happened if the more popular Odin son was banished to Earth.  Riverdale  remakes a Tarantino film.  American Horror Story returns for Double Feature.  See also returns to show off how dystopic a world where you can’t see Jason Momoa’s muscles would be.  If you need to get away from that bleak future, Star Trek Lower Decks gives us a comedic alternative.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 August 15

Are you Definitely Caught up from last week?  This week is a tad bit lighter, but not by much.  First, the Legends stay in for a bottle episode, Stargirl actually uses a character named Richard Switft, Superman and Lois confront their worst nightmare, and the Titans meet Blackfire.  If you prefer to visit the MCU, you’ll have to take a detour into the universe where T’Challa is Star Lord.  In Riverdale, Hiram exposites all over Reggie.  Star Trek’s Lower Decks speak in metaphors.  SurrealEstate counts down from six as house guests are murdered.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 August 8

Did you rest up the last two weeks?  We have plenty of new shows for you to watch!  First, Don’t Count out the shows from the the house that Kent built, as Kent visits his high school sweetheart while his son gets close with his wife’s alternate-universe husband.  The Legends go bowling.  Stargirl and Titans both start their next seasons, while copes with being being a golden age superhero while being in school.  The Titans don’t give us descriptions for their first three episodes, but based on the titles, we get either Batgirl or Oracle, Red Hood, and Hank and Dove’s return.  If CW shows returning is your thing, Riverdale’s got your back with a post-prison break roundup.  If you prefer the other side of the of the Comic universes, Marvel takes its Cinematic Universe and and tweaks it, starting the animated What If story with Peggy Carter became Captain America.  If you prefer to stay away from the comics entirely, but still want a new season, Lower Deck’s brings us animated, comedic Star Trek.  There’s new episodes of Miraculous, Bad Batch, and My Hero Academia.  Finally, if you like your shows coming out in last decade’s style, there’s SurrealEstate’s visit to a rapper’s studio.  (Don’t forget last week’s review!)

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 July 25

It’s a light week for our television table, and even lighter week for descriptions, as a writer’s cabin by the lake coming up on the SurrealEstate parade of homes is the only description we have.  Based off of titles, Evil does seem to be dealing with the police, the Bad Batch confronts Riverdale’s bad boy after he gets into Tony Stark’s extra armor, and My Hero Academia’s apology is unacceptable.
